Craniometry is the measurement of cranial features in order to classify people according to race, criminal temperament, intelligence, etc. The underlying assumption of craniometry is that skull size and shape determine brain size which determines such things as intelligence and capacity for moral behavior. Empirical evidence for this assumption is not very strong. So you will have to measure heads and reaction times (maybe you can drop a ruler from a designated point and see what measurement you catch it on. Requires another person to drop the ruler) or something and see if there is any correlation. The websites below gives you lots of info. Have Fun !! |
